INTERIM REPORT – OPTIONS FOR CHANGE – ATTACHMENT C EASA.2009.OP.21 INTRODUCTION This document is a short summary and description of the FAA Standardised International Aircraft De-icing Programme (SIAGDP). It is presented in two sections: the first contains notes made from an FAA presentation on the background of the programme; and the second includes extracts from the SIAGDP document. The reason it is included in this Report is that any progress and changes made by the FAA concerning how de-icing / anti-icing is regulated may have an impact on: European Carriers flying to US aerodromes; and, European service providers contracted to provide de-icing / anti-icing to US carriers operating to/from European aerodromes. Furthermore, a goal of any future regulation, and defining of best-practice, must always remain as reaching global harmonisation. Option FAALIAS presented in Options for Change refers. Readers will gain a broad understanding of the FAA’s intentions from the first section. The extracts in the second section provide more in-depth and precise references to areas of deicing / anti-icing management and operations that are discussed elsewhere in this report. NOTES TAKEN FROM A PRESENTATION GIVEN BY OSTRONIC & FISCUSS (FAA) JULY 2008 – WINTER UPDATE AC 120-60B 20 Dec 2004 is the primary guidance document for the development of an air carrier’s aircraft ground de-icing programme (compliance with 14 CFR 121.695). Originally, this was written when most air carriers accomplished aircraft de/anti-icing utilising their own company equipment and personnel at most airports. Much of the de/anti-icing was conducted by company aircraft mechanics with a high degree of knowledge of de/anti-icing fluids, aircraft systems, aerodynamics, aircraft sensitive areas, and the effects of contamination on the critical areas of the aircraft. Also, they would have great familiarity with moving around aircraft and airports in an operational environment. However today, depending on the air carrier, approximately 70 - 80% of aircraft ground de/anti-icing is accomplished by third party contract service providers The employee of the typical contracted third-party aircraft ground de/anti-icing service provider: − has been with the company less than 2 years. − is often his/her first exposure to aviation and airplanes. − is usually minimally paid with little or no benefits. − almost always does part time and seasonal work. airsight GmbH - 1 -
INTERIM REPORT – OPTIONS FOR CHANGE – ATTACHMENT C EASA.2009.OP.21 AC 120-60B simply does not address the realities of the present situation in the aircraft ground de-icing environment and the contractual relationships that have evolved between the air carriers and the third party aircraft ground de-icing service providers. Therefore today (2008/2009) a major re-write of AC 120-60B is underway. The aim is to have one standardised programme for all carriers domestic and foreign, at home and overseas. If the revision is successful then it will: − Improve safety by increased standardisation – a programme for use domestically and internationally. − Provide an authorisation process for third-party aircraft service providers independent of an air carrier’s 14 CFR 121.629 approved ground de-icing programme. − Improve FAA oversight through the third-party service provider authorisation process. − Make available and encourage the use of quality de/anti-icing fluids to a larger segment of the aviation industry (beyond major commercial carriers). FAA Notice N.8900.26 states that: An air carrier aircraft may only be de/anti-iced under the air carrier’s own approved program or under another air carrier’s approved program. airsight GmbH - 2 -
